[QUOTE="Hduke86, post: 5406633, member: 18913"] 10mm with hard cast bullets are the way to go for bear protection. I’ll be the first one to admit that I would definitely have bear spray also. Black bears are not hard to deter and would bet just the sound of a gun going off would make it disappear. Now if out in grizzly country is a different story. I’d be pulling the trigger as fast as I could and hope one round landed between the eyes of a charging bear. You really want to see how hard it is to hit something like a charging bear. Have someone roll a basketball across the ground towards you after you just ran to get your heart rate up and see if you can hit the ball. [/QUOTE]
